I'm involved with a 'challenge' with 9 other artists, and this month our task was to paint something with a 'telephone' theme. I had a zillion ideas, then ran out of time. Tomorrow I'll show you my 'idea' page in my sketchbook, but tonight I just need some votes on which one I'll submit. The top one, "Stuff My Cell Hears...", is acrylic, with collage (that ran... which is one reason why I usually stick to 'regular' painting..) and the bottom one "Never Without The Blackberry..." is regular oil. It started OUT as an acrylic painting, but all of a sudden the darks started feeling sticky, and I realized I'd loaded an oil paint onto my acrylic palette... eeeks! So I took it to the studio today and re-did the painting in oil. So... help me out, please, and tell me in your comments which I should submit to the Challenge. People in the challenge thought I was the 'uploader' this month and sent me some really wonderful paintings, and I think I was intimidated!
Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving, and are sufficiently 'stuffed'!
Had a great Thanksgiving, Kelley and hope you did too...
ReplyDeleteI really like the second one.
I love the collage! its so unusual for you. although i do really like the texting, and you really nailed the hand on the left...
ReplyDeleteI like the first one. (Myself, I don't own a cellphone...)
ReplyDeleteI like the second one - it reads better. I wish I were in a theme-painting group like yours - maybe I'll try out some of your themes for fun. Thanks for sending these little paintings and posts -I'm learning from them.
ReplyDeleteOK - here's the deal - I need to fix that right hand thumb! I can do it in the studio tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed that now I '
*know* someone who doesn't own a cell phone!
:)
You know I really cannot decide!
ReplyDeleteI like the first ones message but the second one is really cool too.
Only thing that feels off to me in number 2 is the thumb on the right- but fingers and thumbs and hands and feet are a huge challenge ( maybe we should do that next time)
Hey Kelley!! Love them both but unlike everyone else the first one is my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband voted for #2, but only if I fix the thumb! Joan voted for #2 as well!
ReplyDeleteI am probably too late but I choose the first one - love the composition and lightness of it.
